Part I - Breaking the Cycle with Margaret Stone
In this powerful episode of Shut Up and Smile, your hosts Nancy and Keery sit down with Margaret Stone—a licensed clinical therapist turned no-nonsense dating coach for women. Margaret specializes in helping women break free from toxic relationship cycles, including narcissistic abuse, love bombing, and anxious attachment.
With her signature tough-love style, Margaret walks us through her non-negotiable coaching framework, sheds light on the red flags too many women ignore, and explains how feminine power is key to reclaiming emotional freedom. From healing childhood wounds to navigating modern dating with clarity and confidence, this episode is packed with real talk, relatable insights, and empowering truth bombs.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in a pattern of “dating the wrong men” or questioned whether lasting love is still possible after trauma—this conversation is for you.
